Plan safe routes of travel, and be aware of power lines and other roadside hazards.
Take particular care when towing implements on hillsides.
Do not ride or allow passengers on the machine. This machine is not designed to carry passengers, and
no riders are permitted.
Road transport
On public roads,
A speed of 40km/h must not be exceeded.
Do not operate during the hours of darkness unless standard lights are fitted and clearly visible.
(This also applies when visibility is limited, e.g., in foggy conditions.)
See the guidelines in the Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Rule issued by the Land & Transport Safety
Authority.
Avoid tip-overs
Run the machine along hillsides with the elevator on the high side of the hill. Avoid holes, ditches and
obstructions which may cause the machine to tip over, especially on hillsides. Never drive near the edge
of a gully or steep embankment - it might cave in. Slow down for hillsides, rough ground and sharp
turns.
Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely
All farm chemicals should be stored, used, handled and disposed of safely and in accordance with the
supplier’s/manufacturer’s recommendations.
Read the product label before using, noting any warnings or special cautions, including any protective
clothing or equipment that may be required, i.e. respirator.
Do not eat or smoke while handling sprays, fertilisers, coated seeds, etc. Afterwards, always wash your
hands and face before you eat, drink, smoke, or use the toilet.
Store sprays, fertilisers, coated seeds, etc. out of reach of children and pets, and away from food and
animal feeds.
Any symptoms of illness during or after using chemicals should be treated according to the
supplier’s/manufacturer’s recommendations. If severe, call a physician or get the patient to hospital
immediately. Keep the container and/or label for reference.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Avoid any contact with fluids leaking under pressure, because the fluids can penetrate the skin surface.
Any fluid which penetrates the skin will need to be removed immediately by a medical expert. Seek
specialist advice on this type of injury.
Relieve the pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic or other lines. Make all repairs and tighten all
fittings before re-connection to pressurised fluid.
Keep your hands and body away from any pinholes or high pressure jets. Search for leaks with a piece of
cardboard instead of using your hand directly.
